Mar 5 / 28: Leora Cashe

We miss Leora Cashe, the gospel and jazz singer who was a long-time feature at CHRISTMAS PRESENCE. She moved away from Vancouver a couple years ago, but she's headed back our way for a quick Western Canada tour.

A runaway hit at the Okanagan Wine Festival every year, the Blasted Church MidnightService comes to Vancouver's vino week for the very first time. Not your average mingler, theevening brings to life the label's irreverent name by having guests commune at Christ ChurchCathedral for soul food from Memphis Blues Barbeque House and soulful music from the GospelExperience Choir featuring Candy Churchill, Joe Chappell, Will Sanders, Leora Cashe, Marcus Mosely,Sibel Thrasher, Ron Small and Lovie Eli.
